Description

A jailbreak on wheels

The Kingdoms line pitted rival castle factions against each other, and this set captures one moment of that rivalry. A wagon with a barred cage is carrying prisoners, and someone wants to set them free. With three minifigures you can cast guards, a captive and a rescuer. It is a cheap way into the castle theme, because you do not need a fortress to start telling stories with it. A few minutes of building is enough to have the cage ready for the first escape attempt.

An earthy medieval palette

Black, dark green, reddish brown and light bluish grey give the wagon its sombre look. Reddish brown reads as timber, light bluish grey as iron and stone, and black as bars and fittings. Of the 50 pieces, 25 are different part types, so there are several specialist elements such as grilles and wheels. You can check every colour and quantity in the parts list further down this page, which helps if you are hunting for a particular piece. Smaller sets like this are often bought for a single part, so a clear overview of what is inside saves a lot of guesswork before you order or sort anything.

Building and playing

The build is short, and the result is a carriage that rolls and has a cage you can open. Children tend to pull it across the floor, while collectors often place it beside a larger castle as an accessory, perhaps a prisoner transport following an army or reinforcements for a siege. Since the model is small, it takes almost no shelf space and fits easily into an existing display. If you prefer playing to displaying, let the three figures swap roles each round, guards one time and rescuers the next, until the escape finally succeeds.

Parts for your own scenes

Grille pieces, wheels and reddish brown elements are in constant demand for medieval builds. If you design your own scene, this set supplies several of them in one go. The “What can I build?” tool on this page shows which further sets you could assemble from your collection plus these pieces. Later you can fold the rescue into a bigger diorama. Individual pieces such as the grilles also work well as cell windows, gates or portcullis details on a castle wall.
